EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph is a beautiful example of the exquisite illustrations found in Leon Dufour's "Atlas des Champignons Comestibles et Veneneux" (Atlas of Edible and Poisonous Mushrooms), published in 1891. The illustration features two species of Honey Fungus, Armillaria bulbigera and Armillaria robusta, which are among the most widely distributed and abundant fungi in the world. Honey Fungus, also known as the "honey mushroom," is a collective term for several closely related species in the Armillaria genus. These fungi are characterized by their distinctive veil-like rings, which cover the caps of the young mushrooms and eventually break away to reveal the gills underneath. The Honey Fungus forms a vast, interconnected network of mycelium beneath the ground, which allows it to tap into the nutrient resources of a wide area. Armillaria bulbigera and Armillaria robusta are both edible and highly prized for their delicious flavor and texture. They are often found growing in woodlands and forests, particularly in association with conifers and hardwoods. The Honey Fungus is a popular subject in mycology, the study of fungi, due to its widespread distribution, ease of identification, and edible nature. This chromolithograph, produced during the height of the Victorian era, showcases the intricate detail and vibrant colors that were possible using this printing technique. The illustration captures the essence of the Honey Fungus, providing a glimpse into the natural world of over a century ago. Today, this historical artifact remains an important record of the natural history of these fascinating and delicious fungi.
